Bills now the best 3-1 team ever according to DVOA

[Big Turk]

And 6th best team all-time after 4 games according to DVOA...

 

 

[Warcodered]

and that's after taking a dump week 1 and playing the Dolphins in week 4.

[2003Contenders]

And all 4 teams were undefeated at the time they played the Bills.

Posters, including those on Twitter, need to stop using acronyms that were just invented, without explaining what they mean.

 

DVOA:

Defensive Victory and Offensive Acumen???

Difference of victory opponents average???

 

Digital Visual Occurrences Amen!?!?!?

It's been discussed here enough regularly that you SHOULD know it by now.  If you don't, use the search function, it's been explained many many times...at least 5 by myself in previous posts.

DVOA is expected outcome vs the NFL average? Right?

 

Technically couldn’t a high DVOA also mean the average play of football around the NFL is bad?

Since several people have asked, DVOA stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average.

Too bad he ran into a colonel instead.

the point of communication is to… communicate.  Using some obscure acronym no one knows is a failure to communicate.

It wasn't just invented.  It's older than QBR, and nobody explains what QBR is, either.   

 

Others have given you an explanation, and if you follow the link, you can learn more.   Warning:  it's complicated. 

 

Essentially what they do is compare every teams at every position against every other team at every position, including comparisons for down and distance, and try to figure out which teams are best.  Who passes best, second best, etc.  Who's best on third and short and who isn't.   

 

At this time of year, they're still using a lot of last season's data, so the numbers aren't great.  But once we get to November, it's all current season data, and it really seems to be pretty accurate.   In other words, the best teams come out on top of the rankings.   There are rankings for offense, defense, special teams, oline, dline, passing, running.   

 

Having the sixth best DVOA since they started doing this is pretty heady stuff.  

 

Bills have been near the top of the DVOA lists for the past few years.
